I am in danger......

...of losing my current nickname at work. The story behind the current nickname (ERF) is that there are forms that users fill out when they have a computer problem. It is call an 'Ethan Request Form'. Employees being the way employees are, they didn't like saying the whole name so the form name got reduced to ERF. After that (apparently saying Ethan was too much) they started calling me ERF.

Back to present day. There is a case in our office where a defendent is saying that they don't owe a debt because they are operating under a new name. It was requested that I go to the location to get pictures of the exterior signage and anything on the inside that would indicate the name the business was operating under. Surprise, surprise, everything indicated that they were still using the old name. I even purchased something and the receipt had the old name as did the credit card slip. When I got back to the office one of the attorneys said, "Hey there Magnum. All you need now is the 1980 something Ferrari." I may now be referred to as Magnum or Magnum P.I.
